    CX, EX, K, S, Oladra, Antipodes, Owners Unite

    Just been setting up my modest K22, running into Bricasti M21 DAC. After much fiddling with different configurations I have settled on Squeeze Player/Roon Server and AES to DAC as all-round best compromise. While USB using a Network Audio cable sounded good, it would not use Native DSD and made...

    Focal Presents the Dune Finish for Bathys

    Speaker drivers "made in France". If you know better, you'd do well to sue. But you don't.

    Can you be more specific about the USB-Network dongle? I see no reference to this on T+A site.

    HiBy RS6 Android DAP - Snapdragon 660, 4+64GB, 5” full HD, Darwin R2R, FIR, NOS, MQA 16x, copper chassis

    This DAP is wonderful when it works, but I give up. Here I am again with a blank screen, a blue LED. When I reset, blue light goes out for a couple of seconds then comes on again, blank screen again. More than half the time when I try to fire it up, I get this behaviour. It has always been...

    What's the best USB audio cable for the money?

    Seconded. The only USB cable I've used that has obviously and dramatically improved sound, rather than producing minor differences (Audience, Curious, Inakustik). Well worth the high price.

    HiBy RS6 Android DAP - Snapdragon 660, 4+64GB, 5” full HD, Darwin R2R, FIR, NOS, MQA 16x, copper chassis

    Reply to review by 'sarnhelen' on item 'HiBy RS6'

    Thanks for the tip about USB Audio Pro which greatly enhances my experience with this already terrific DAC. Navigating 1TB of music becomes so easy and intuitive. Although I bought the HiBy to use with IEMs I'm delighted by its performance with the Meze Elites on high power/4.4mm.

    You just have to be patient. I cleared my cache several times, no success, walked away and pretended to ignore the little toerag, then took it by surprise and the update suddenly worked.

    MEZE AUDIO ELITE - The New Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone - official thread

    Verite Open. I'll get round to comparisons at some point, but wedded to the Elites for now.

    MEZE AUDIO ELITE - The New Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone - official thread

    I made the decision for the Elite at Axpona, but it was difficult between these two - I was able to listen to the Elite on LTA amp - I have the LTA MZ3 - and to compare with the Audeze LC-5 - no contest; and when the LTA guy asked which I preferred, he responded That's what I think too. The...

    MEZE AUDIO ELITE - The New Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone - official thread

    Great review. That's what I wanted, a comparison with the Verité. As a jazz listener predominantly, I'll stick with Verité. Saved me a bundle!
